FUN

I watched this video on T.V. It is a piano on the stairs in Stockholm to make people use the stairs.People play the piano and climb the stairs instead of using the electrical stairs and I thought that if you make something fun, more people will do it.
So we should do things more fun: THE FUN THEORY

On Halloween, children wear fancy dress costumes and they knock on doors and say "Trick or treat." People open the doors and give the children lots of sweets. Orange and black are the Halloween colours. Orange is the colour of pumpkins and black is the colour of darkness. Halloween is a fun holiday!!!
